Bcl-xL targeting eliminates ageing tumor-promoting neutrophils and inhibits lung tumor growth
Freddy Radtke, Nadine Fournier, Etienne Meylan, Justine Pascual, Amber Dawn Bowler, Anita Bodac, Vincent Roh
Elevated peripheral blood and tumor-infiltrating neutrophils are often associated with a poor patient prognosis. However, therapeutic strategies to target these cells are difficult to implement due to the life-threatening risk of neutropenia. In a genetica ...
Springernature2024Targeting the aging of tumor-associated neutrophils in lung cancer
Neutrophils are leukocytes that play a key role in innate immunity. Their mode of action in case of infection is well described, but their impact in different chronic diseases, such as cancer, remains unclear. Nevertheless, recent publications describe neu ...
EPFL2024Exploration and modulation of mechanical cues for enhanced cancer immunotherapy
The advent of immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and adoptive transfer of cytotoxic lymphocytes, has transformed the clinical care of cancer. However, a significant proportion of patients are resistant to immunotherapy or experience re ...
EPFL2024Bacterial diversity dominates variable macrophage responses of tuberculosis patients in Tanzania
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) comprises nine human-adapted lineages that differ in their geographical distribution. Local adaptation of specific MTBC genotypes to the respective human host population has been invoked in this context. We aim ...
Nature Portfolio2024System for micturition control in a mammal with bladder disfunction
Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Jordan Squair
The present invention relates to a neuromodulation/neurostimulation system (10) for stimulating at least one neuronal circuitry responsible for micturition control in a mammal with bladder disfunction, especially for bladder relaxation and/or for bladder v ...
2024Acute TNF alpha levels predict cognitive impairment 6-9 months after COVID-19 infection
Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Alessandra Griffa, Idris Guessous, Alexandre Cionca
Background: A neurocognitive phenotype of post-COVID-19 infection has recently been described that is characterized by a lack of awareness of memory impairment (i.e., anosognosia), altered functional connectivity in the brain's default mode and limbic netw ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Multivalent Virucidal Antivirals: Synthesis, Mechanisms of Action, and Immune-stimulating Effects
Viruses initiate invasion by binding to cell surface glycoproteins. Materials mimicking the carbohydrate motifs of these glycoproteins, such as heparan sulfate (HS) and sialic acid (SA) can block viral attachment and inhibit the infection. Multivalent disp ...
EPFL2023Monocyte-derived macrophages aggravate pulmonary vasculitis via cGAS/STING/IFN-mediated nucleic acid sensing
Kessler et al. identify aberrant DNA recognition by cGAS/STING and IFN-I production by inflammatory macrophages as a driver of severe ANCA-associated vasculitis. Pharmacological interventions blocking this pathway ameliorate disease and accelerate recovery ...
ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS2022Sodium thiosulfate, a source of hydrogen sulfide, stimulates endothelial cell proliferation and neovascularization
Georges Wagnières, Jaroslava Joniová, Séverine Marguerite Urfer
Therapies to accelerate vascular repair are currently lacking. Pre-clinical studies suggest that hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gasotransmitter, promotes angiogenesis. Here, we hypothesized that sodium thiosulfate (STS), a clinically relevant source ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022m6A methylation potentiates cytosolic dsDNA recognition in a sequence-specific manner
Andrea Ablasser, Muhammet Fatih Gülen
Nucleic acid sensing through pattern recognition receptors is critical for immune recognition of microbial infections. Microbial DNA is frequently methylated at the N-6 position of adenines (m6A), a modification that is rare in mammalian host DNA. We show ...
